The Location

Rackheath is a village that still feels like a village, but with an increasing amount of life and convenience on the doorstep. Just five miles northeast of Norwich, it’s well-placed for anyone who wants a quieter home setting without feeling cut off. Everyday essentials are right in the village, including a convenience store, primary school, doctors’ surgery and a village hall that hosts community activities. There’s also a good amount of green space, with a playing field, play area and places to walk the dog. For food, drink and a bit of atmosphere, the Sole & Heel pub on Salhouse Road has become a real hub again since its refurbishment, offering a friendly pint, outdoor seating and regular social events.

One of Rackheath’s biggest advantages is how easy it is to get around. The NDR (Broadland Northway / A1270) runs right by the area and links very smoothly to the A47, which means commuting is genuinely straightforward whether you’re heading into Norwich or further afield. Bus travel is also practical, routes such as Konectbus 5 and 5B run regularly into the city, so you don’t have to rely solely on the car.

Cycling is becoming more realistic too, with routes connecting out toward Norwich and the surrounding villages.

Rackheath is also nicely placed between a number of other well-served areas. Just down the road, Sprowston offers bigger supermarkets, retail parks, takeaways and schools. Thorpe St Andrew is not far either, it has riverside walks, good places to eat and well-regarded education options including Thorpe St Andrew School.

Another big draw is how close Rackheath is to the countryside and the Broads. Salhouse Broad is just around the corner and offers beautiful walking routes, paddleboarding, boating and wildlife. For anyone who enjoys being outside, whether that’s cycling, dog walking, or just getting some fresh air, it’s a great location.
